The first one, The Intouchables I was supposed to see two weekends ago but plans changed and we didn&#8217;t go, I was bummed. I was happy we got to see it and it did not disappoint. A wonderful typically European film that touches the heart and moves the soul. I so enjoyed it as I do many foreign films.<br \/>The second one, Arbitrage with Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon centered around a filthy rich but very corrupt wall street tycoon and the story rings true about what has gone on for so long, its well done, riveting and I also enjoyed it for different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>There are two movies coming that I cannot wait to see! Besides Le Mis of course:) I have included the trailers because I am not sure they will be considered &#8220;mainstream movies&#8217; that you will see in every theater, but the previews have me waiting in bated breath to see them!
